In 1980, a new system was adopted to refer to mobile internet networks. Since then, they have been divided into "generations". In this way, the 5G signal corresponds to the fifth mobile network generation and broadband adopted by cell phone companies. Created and spread around the world in 2018, it is the successor to 4G networks.

5G signal: have you researched about it?
Whenever a new generation is released, Internet users across the planet follow the news to learn about developments in download and upload speeds. In a globalized world, where commercial transactions and news transmission take place predominantly over the internet, speed in connectivity is essential. Knowing this, check out these data on internet speed and its spread across the country.
- 5G speed
Its predecessor, the 4G signal, offered a maximum download speed of up to 100 megabits per second (100 Mbps). Meanwhile, 5G connections can reach maximum download speeds of 20 gigabits per second! In practice, this means that the new generation can be up to a hundred times faster than its predecessor in terms of downloads (whether music, files, videos, photos or applications).
But it doesn't stop there: uploading, that is, sending data from your device to the cloud or to a website, application or user will also be done faster. If the predecessor 4G needs an average of 25 milliseconds for this, the newer generation will need only 2.5 milliseconds! So it will be ten times faster.
- More speed for work and play
Some 4G users may complain of frozen screens during some activities that require more data usage, such as watching series and movies on streaming platforms. streaming, playing games with more elaborate graphics in high quality or watching videos with more pixels. 5G promises to solve these problems.
With a greater speed for responses, videos tend to freeze less, greatly improving the quality of the game, from video calls to work meetings and the sensation of immersion in augmented reality games, for example.
